After a weekend away from my apartment, I'm back. We had to pack up the cats and a few belongings while our complex redid our kitchen and bathroom, so I wasn't able to get my meal prepping done this weekend like I usually do. I was, however, able to make one thing to take with… Continue reading Chicken Marsala Orzo
Targeted ads on my social media feeds here lately have really gotten to me. Ad agencies are getting better and better at getting me to buy things, and social media ads are no joke.

I eat my dinner now around 6-6:30, which is a pretty normal time to eat dinner for most people. But… Continue reading Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken Skillet
It's been a while since I've whipped out my slow cooker. I tend to use it frequently in the winter months.
